| Summary | 0001599: Add Quadric Mesh Option to Mesh Design Workbench | ||||
| Description | If at all possible, please add quadric mesh option to the "Create mesh from shape..." dialog. There are options for Standard and Mefisto, along with optional netgen if FreeCAD is built with it. Currently missing is an option to mesh with quads. Having the ability to export a mesh in quads would make FreeCAD designed parts a bit more friendly when used with programs such a Blender. | ||||

The data structure in the Mesh workbench cannot handle quad meshes, only triangle meshes. Thus, such an option doesn't make sense there. However, the FEM module can handle such meshes so you should stick to this. Btw, the term "quadric" doesn't fit here because this is something totally different: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadric |

Thanks. I haven't used FEM workbench because nothing has ever really worked in it for me. Just now, I tried to apply a FEM mesh to a part and got this message in report view. SMESH Exception : "hypothesis does not exist" So I'll take this back to the forum and try to get it sorted out. I must be missing something in my builds. Feel free to close this at your leisure. |

The first command in the FEM menu seems to be broken and I guess this can be removed. To create an FE mesh you have to invoke "New mechanical analysis" which opens a panel where you can set the meshing parameters. However, there I can't see an option to prioritize quads. So, maybe this can be implemented there. |

Thanks wmayer, being able to prioritize quads sounds good, if only FEM workbench actually worked for me. Thread with my current problems with FEM - http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=6963 |
